RE: ticks?!?!?!?!!?
those things are horrible. they are all over the place in ne maryland. the best thing i found besides shaving about 700 of those things off was to get duct tape and press and rip. they came off 50 at a time. just rip with the hair grain and not against. last year i thought i got all of them off with duct tape so i decided to jump in the shower. i took off my britches only to find we were touching heads ...AHHHH! (that did not receive duct tape)[&:]good luck.
try wearing tight under armor under your pants next time. it seems they cant make it through it.
